In this workshop you will make a collage based on still life arrangements using painted, found and vintage papers.

Taking inspiration from still life arrangements and still life and collage references we will explore the following:

* drawing
* composition
* colour
* value
* negative space
* abstraction versus representation

We will spend some time making experimental, loose drawings from still life arrangements and then learn how to start planning and arranging a composition. We will then move on to creating a final collage using torn and cut papers and looking at layering, contrast, background and main elements vs details.

There is no right or wrong way to make a collage and this course will be about play, exploration and having fun. At the end of the day you will leave with your own individual still life collage.
